May personality din kasi ang pinoy na ayaw magsalita dahil ayaw mahurt ang feelings ng iba... Pero this is a forum kasi. It is ok to let out opinions here. If you want to be bulagbulagan then fine, but dont blame us for judging what we see.

The girl is trying her best to represent our country. It's not having a sense of entitlement, it's showing that despite her many lapses, the country is still at her back. Wala namang masama na magbigay ng sentimiento sa mga napapansin natin, we are all entitled to voice our own opinions. But let's all be civilised. No name callings.

I think the idea is to deviate from what other contestants are using. Halos lahat ng girls ganon ang evening gown, so paano sya mapapansin? I think yun yung reason bat ganyan yung damit nya. It is something new but at the same time elegant.

She did very well. Maxine is doing her best for the country's pride. Let's support her. If others don't like the designs of her gowns, let's admit she carried well. Cheers for Maxine! Prayers and support! 🇵🇭

i do not see Philippines in her national costume..all i see is the designer's ambition to show his own design of his own national costume..mas maganda pa ung mga costume sa mga festivals ng Pilipinas,masmakulay at maganda,makikita mo dun ung wow Philippines..

Sa Miss U, hindi kailangan literal ang interpretation ng national costume..at yan na din ung trend for the past years sa pageants, the crazier/the more eye-catching the costume, the better. Look at the national costumes of the other countries to see what I mean.

I've already seen via youtube the whole preliminary show last night and I have to say Maxine is a stand-out in National Costume and swimsuit competition. But that green gown na "may sariling buhay" dahil sa optical illusion na parang umaalon na dagat and the way she carried it made her the top candidate in this competition. Mark my word papasok si Maxine sa Top6. And now that she decided to use a translator sa Q&A as per her latest interview kanina sa TV, sana pumasok siya sa Top3.
